How the table tennis world ranking are calculated?
Although the official table tennis rankings calculated by ITTF (WTT) are not the most accurate, this ranking is the official one. In order to build a more dynamic, fair, and progressive system, WTT has implemented a new ranking structure. This framework will allow WTT to convey the tale of each season more clearly to its fans, media, and sponsors.
Each time, a player won the event, they have rewarded some points. These points are used to build the current world table tennis rankings. There is a point scale. The more important the event, the more points are given to the winners.
The ITTF Executive Committee has approved a new rankings structure for table tennis, which will include Grand Smash events at the top of the rankings. WTT events will benefit greatly from the new Table Tennis World Rankings, which honor the history and significance of ITTF competitions while also recognizing the contributions of WTT events.
Taking their place alongside Olympic Games and ITTF World Championships, Grand Smashes award a total of 2,000 points to their respective champions. Table tennis players’ world rankings will be heavily influenced by their performances at the Grand Smashes, which will be held four times a year on average.
Full Table Tennis World Ranking points for the winners of an event can be found here:

How the world table tennis ranking is used?
The ITTF World table tennis ranking is used officially to classify the seeding position of the players. Event entry is based on a player’s position in the rankings at the time of the entry deadline.
When it comes to seeding for an event, a player’s current ranking will be taken into consideration. Ranks are now published weekly, rather than monthly. Round-by-round rankings points will be awarded to players based on their performance. When a player progresses from qualifying to the main draw, he or she will gain rankings points for both qualification and the main draw.
For the first time, ranking points will expire after a year. So if the players are absent, their points are reduced. Count only the best of eight continental and international events (see above).
Furthermore, the plan proposes several ranking efforts to support the ITTF and WTT’s objective to create a more player- and fan-friendly framework for the sport.
What do you think about the fairness of this ranking system?
